Day 179

I woke up a little before 8 and did a little surfing before getting up.

I've been obsessing about patching that pipe since I bought the patch kit.  The instructions make it sound a little complicated and maybe a little difficult.  I really didn't feel like doing anything, but I just didn't want to spend any more energy thinking about the patch.

So I collected the stuff I needed to fix the pipe and went out to do it.  The good news is that I definitely found the problem.  It was what I thought.  The heater warped the plastic pipe.  The leak is maybe a drop every 5 seconds or so.  I removed the insulation, cleaned everything up, and applied the patch.  I'll go out tomorrow to see if it worked.  If it did, I'll have to reinstall the insulation and things will be OK.  I hope so.

After lunch I decided to go get the mail that I didn't pick up yesterday.  I spent some time talking to Jeff and Dola when I did.  They want Ellen to teach Lola how to shoot.  I told them that we could probably do it in about 10 days.  Jeff also mentioned that he could use a BB gun for the squirrels.  So I gave him the old one I had.

After that I didn't do anything except reading and a little TV.  The evening was the same thing.
